Description

Your spice cabinet is the 16th-century treasure chest! One bottle of nutmeg could have bought you a whole country!! Ok, that might be an exaggeration but you get the idea. The desire for black gold peppercorns, cinnamon sticks, clove, and nutmeg literally changed the world. Colonization took off, global economies changed, and thousands of lives were lost. Oh yes, friend, the history of spice is dark and deadly. I promise you'll never look at a pumpkin since late the same after you listen to this episode.

I'm TK, your guide to the past as we uncover the people, events, and little-known-facts hidden in the shadows of your old history textbooks. From empress baddies to activist profiles, turkey gods and the history of the toothbrush, tattoos, Pompeii peepees, and everything in between, you can find it all here. There is no telling how far we'll dig or how many "historical facts" we'll reexamine. No event too small and no topic too big, because this is For The Love of History.
